Wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge.
Rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry
the less visible parts with special care,
such as the door frames, bonnet and
the headlight frames, where water
may stagnate more easily. The car
should not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left outside so that
residual water can evaporate. Do not
wash the car after it has been parked in
the sun.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park the car
under trees; the resinous substances
that many species release give the
paint a dull appearance and increase
the possibility of triggering rusting
processes.
WARNING In case of water stains
(rings) on the wrapping, remove it,
washing again and drying it with a
non-abrasive soft cloth.
WARNINGS
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the
car under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it
may only be possible to remove them
with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they
could alter the paint, the stickers or the
wrapping.
Do not use pure windscreen washer
fluid for cleaning the windscreen and
the rear window: dilute it to at least
50% with water.

Windows
To clean glasses, use specific cleaning
products.
Use clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or altering the transparency.
WARNING Wipe the rear window
inside gently with a cloth following
the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
44)
Headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
WARNING Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the headlights.
WARNING When cleaning the car
with a pressure washer, keep the
water jet at least 20 cm away from the
headlights.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
WASHING
45)
If the engine compartment is washed
(at low pressure, e.g. in very dusty
areas), this must be done with the
engine cold and with ignition device
turned to STOP. Take care not to
direct the water jet straight at the
electronic control modules, fuse box
connectors or wiper motors. Moreover,
do not direct the jet towards the drop
catcher area around the engine oil cap
to avoid splashing oil in the engine
compartment. Have this operation
performed by a specialised workshop.
After washing, check that the various
protective components (e.g. rubber
guards and caps) have not been
removed or damaged.
WASHING/CLEANING THE SOFT
TOP
Use of specific products is
recommended for washing the soft top
cloth.
